Severe Inner Tire Wear : TOE in , Camber

[Mike Del Tergo]

I haven't seen your tires but your shop probably should have noted, if they 
knew, that the wear you describe, on varying levels of severity is "normal" 
for a well aligned 911?  I'd first check to see if anyone has messed with 
the original alignment.  Also check the strut plates for prior adjustments, 
usually theese are "sealed" at the factory with "goop" and you should be 
able to tell if they have been moved or replaced.

Sniping to shorten post.
I'm chiming in a little late on Bernie's and Jeff's alignment thread.
I drive a 911 (occasionally) which has a healthy 2" obvious wear "Strip" on
BOTH inside edges on the front wheels.  After reading Jeff's post, I'm
convinced the PO / Dealer replaced the tires without addressing the 
alignment.
I'm sold on Jeff's explaination on toe.........
BTW, the car (new to us) & tires have 5,000 miles on them.

Anything else I should inspect?  '88 w/45K miles.......................
